Spinal decompression is one of the most successful treatments for anyone suffering from back ache, especially lower back pain. This is administered by the use of traction, wherein the decompression occurs resulting from the force applied.

The decompression therapy has been used for centuries by chiropractors and practitioners of medicine. Traction could be provided manually, by using a mechanical decompression unit or through some easy to use traction devices.

What is decompression?

Decompression therapy is a form of physical therapy, and is particularly effective for relief from backache. The underlying science behind spinal decompression is creating more space between adjoining vertebrae, to correspondingly overcome any underlying conditions like a pinched nerve in the back. Bowmanville Spinal Decompression Centre has many years of experience in treating patients who are suffering from similar conditions.

Decompression therapy can work wonders for anyone who may be suffering from arthritis. The ailing joints in the spine are stretched, and this allows them to overcome effects of gravity, or even a faulty posture. Spinal decompression allows muscles and the soft tissue to stretch in ways that are almost impossible with our day to day activity and exercises.
